"Thousands of troops are easy to get, but one general is hard to find", for good generals, they will naturally be loved by their bosses.

Among the founding generals of New China, there are countless such generals. Among them, General He Bingyan is a prominent one.

As the founding general, he made outstanding military achievements and dared to fight, and he won the love and respect of all marshals.

And for him, the ** marshal even personally found the *** marshal and asked for it straight to the point.

In 1913, He Bingyan was born in a poor peasant family in Songzi, Hubei.

Born in troubled times, internal and external troubles, and a family of extreme poverty, the hardships of life can be imagined. In order to make a living, he became a cattle herder at the age of 11.

And in 1929, 16-year-old He Bingyan also ushered in a major turning point in his life and met his Bole-*

At that time, China did not change much, and he also joined the propaganda of the Red Army and became a member of it.

Embarking on the revolutionary road, with his bravery and wit, this red imp soon became the squad leader of the guard squad.

Once, seeing that several chiefs were surrounded and in danger, he had an idea to cut off the pocket of the silver dollar, and saw that the enemy soldiers had snatched the silver dollar, so he escaped.

In the Battle of Caoshi, the Eighth Division of the Red Third Army was in a desperate situation, and it was He Bingyan who led the pistol brigade to rescue and turn the corner.

By 1933, he had served as the commander of the 22nd Regiment of the Eighth Red Division, and later served as the division commander one after another.

And for his favorite general, ** never hides his love. He also praised He Bingyan more than once that he would never be pessimistic and wavering whenever and wherever he was, always getting harder and harder, and full of confidence.

However, during the Long March, he was wounded again, and this time he lost his right arm.

At the end of December 1935, the Red Second Army and the enemy encountered a fierce battle at Watangwu.

He Bingyan, who was the commander of the Fifth Division of the Red Second Army, took the initiative to ask Ying to go to the rescue, but during the battle, the enemy's bullet hit his right arm. Due to the severity of his injuries, he had to amputate his leg, and He Bingyan's first thought was how to fight with a gun without his right arm. He didn't even take morphine during the operation, and he relied on perseverance to get through.

This situation made the ** marshal can't help but tear up.

And even though he became one-armed, he only lay on a stretcher for less than ten days before returning to the battlefield.

During the Anti-Japanese War, He Bingyan served as the commander of the 716th Regiment of the 358th Regiment of the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army, and he still followed the ** to fight devils.

In the ambush at Yanmen Pass, He Bingyan took the lead in charging with a gun in one hand and fighting the enemy hand-to-hand, annihilating more than 500 Japanese soldiers in World War I, and his prestige spread all over Shanxi.

After that, he went south with ** and opened up the Jianghan Military Region.

After the start of the civil war, considering that the national war situation had undergone major changes, it was decided that General Peng would take over the command of the troops in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo region, and then transfer to the rear to have an overview of the logistics work in the northwest region.

So, He Bingyan became President Peng's subordinate. As we all know, Mr. Peng admires the commanders and fighters who dare to fight the most, and generals like He Bingyan quickly became Mr. Peng's favorite generals.

In 1947, He Bingyan was promoted to commander of the Northwest Field Army Column.

Two years later, he became the commander of the First Army of the Northwest Field Army, and led his troops in a bloody battle with the local warlord "Three Horses" in the northwest, conquering Xining and liberating Qinghai.

After the war, at the recommendation of General Peng, he served as the commander of the Qinghai Military Region and devoted himself to the suppression and construction of bandits in the northwest.

But because he fought for a long time and was injured many times, in addition to more than a dozen scars on his body, he also suffered from high blood pressure and heart disease.

Coupled with the influence of Qinghai's high altitude, he suffered from emphysema, which is not necessarily fatal immediately, but there is a great risk.

As for this beloved general, after hearing about it, **, who was the commander of the Southwest Military Region at the time, couldn't let go of it, and finally thought about it and decided to find Mr. Peng for his matter.

After seeing Mr. Peng, he said straight to the point that he came for him this time, talked about his illness in detail, and said that he should go to the low-altitude areas in the south to recuperate.

In fact, Mr. Peng also knew about this, but he was reluctant to let He Bingyan go. But after thinking about it again, for the sake of He Bingyan's body, he still agreed to take him back to the south to live and work.

Soon, He Bingyan was transferred to the deputy commander of the Southwest Military Region and concurrently served as the commander of the Sichuan Military Region (1952).

However, in the Southwest Military Region, he also did his best, not only straightening out military affairs, but also persisting in inspecting the border areas for a long time.

In 1955, the Southwest Military Region was abolished and changed to the Chengdu Military Region, and he served as the commander of the Chengdu Military Region.

At that time, India often harassed the border, and in order to stabilize the border defense, he flew to the camp from time to time to inspect it, but his illness worsened rapidly due to long-term fatigue, and he died of illness in 1960 at the age of 47.
